General description :
For sale in our Nashville showroom is a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula. This 1989 Firebird for sale is anything but stock. This highly modified Firebird has a list of go fast goodies that just goes on and on and I will get to that in just a minute, please be patient. Ok, to start let me be clear, this is not a show car! If your thing is to sit in the sun while people walk past your car and tell you how nice your cars is and about the one they had when you were young, this is not your car. What this car is, is FAST. The owner has gone to a lot of expense and trouble to make this car handle well, go fast and just be a pleasure to drive. So, let me explain, no, let me sum up. You will have more fun in the driver’s seat of this car than the folding chair you have in the garage. Now about the car. Looking sinister in all black and murdered out with blacken tail lights and side markers this long lean Firebird is a recipe of all the right stuff. Under the Fiberglass hood is a GM 350HO Deluxe engine with approximately 250 miles on it since it was uncrated and dropped into a cleaned and professionally painted engine compartment. Topping the Chevy small block is a GM high rise intake and the obligatory Holley® 4-barrel carburetor. A HEI distributor provides the energy to the plugs and set of headers handle the spent gasses and route them to the rear of the car. Now for the handling, with new pan hard bar, trailing arms, adjustable torque arm and anti-sway bar the back end of this car is set and ready to shred some corners. Creature comforts include Air conditioning, GPS and a Pioneer AM/FM CD player that pumps the sound through a JL audio amplifier to a set of 2 JL audio 10-inch sub woofers just to name a few. This 1989 Firebird Formula for sale is ready to fly. Options Include: Air conditioning, Power steering, Brakes, Windows and driver’s seat, GPS, Keyless entry and tilt steering wheel.
